C58 It Is Normal to Bully Others with One's Power

Ma Tiedan hummed a tune as he walked into a blacksmith's shop in the west of Ji County with a jar of wine and a piece of meat in his hand. The shop was not big. There was a two-foot-wide flag on the door with a large iron hammer embroidered on the top and the word 'Ma' embroidered on the bottom.

"Haha, Iron Egg is back!" In the smithy, a short, sturdy man with a bare upper body was beating a formed ring head knife. When he saw Ma Tiedan, he laughed out loud and greeted him.

"Uncle Mu, let's eat and drink tonight!" Ma Tiedan grinned and waved the wine and meat in his hand.

The sledgehammer in Uncle Mu's hand did not stop as he muttered to himself: "You brat, spending money recklessly again! Save more money to marry your wife, and don't spend all the money you have! Put your things in the kitchen. Your father is in the yard. "

"Hehe, let me go have a chat with dad and help Uncle Mu forge the iron again."

"F * ck off, I'm not old yet!"

Behind the blacksmith shop, there was a small yard with three rooms. A middle-aged man with a grey scarf on his head was squatting on the ground, fiddling with a one foot long wooden horse. This man had a moustache and was very handsome. His eyes were bright and full of spirit. He was too absorbed in his work that he didn't even notice that someone had entered the room.

Ma Tiedan smiled and placed the meat and wine in the kitchen on the left side. Then, he crept up behind the robust man and observed.

The man carefully fiddled with it a few times, then placed the horse on the ground. He then expressed his disappointment and muttered, "What's wrong with it? It should be able to walk on its own! "

Ma Tiedan couldn't help but interject, "Father, could it be that there was a mistake on the machine?"

The man sat down on the ground in fright and stood up before slapping Ma Tiedan on the head. "Brat, you didn't even make a sound when you came in. I was almost scared to death."

"Hehe." Ma Tiedan laughed and rubbed his head. "When I came in, I saw father thinking about something, so I didn't dare to disturb him."

"Why did you come back?" The man looked at Ma Tiedan's questioning, and then smacked his son on the head, "Brat, the Young Marquis has treated us well. You have to work hard, and don't get kicked out like those people last time! If you are driven back, your father will break your leg and kick you out of the house! "

"Father, don't worry. My White Horse Camp can rest for one day every ten days. Today, it is my turn to rest for one day."

"Kid, are you enjoying life more than your father? Have you heard that the young duke is collecting blacksmiths?"

"That's right!" The General is preparing to change all the weapons in White Horse Camp into fine steel. "

"Change them all? That's a lot of money! "Without three to five hundred thousand slots, I'm afraid it would be difficult!"

"Hehe, dad, I'll tell you a secret in secret. Don't speak carelessly about it!"

Pow! Zhang Xuan continued to slap his head.

"Father's mouth is much tighter than yours!"

"The night before yesterday, I followed the general to Trades and Crafts Camp. The general gave Boss Li a blueprint, and I took a glance at it and discovered that it was an iron smelting furnace. The general said that if the furnace can be built according to the requirements, it can be refined into thousands of pounds of steel! "

"What?!" Does the young duke really say so? " The man was shocked. He stroked his moustache and muttered, "Could it be a new method to refine steel?" Logically speaking, that shouldn't be possible! What method of steel refinement is there in this world that even I do not know about? "

His tone was extremely arrogant. However, Ma Tiedan nodded his head repeatedly as he did not feel that his father's words were inappropriate at all.

"No!" Without clarifying this matter, this old man will definitely not be able to sleep at night! "Iron Egg, Father will go with you to the barracks to pay your respects to the young duke today."

"Ah?" Didn't Father say that I would never interact with nobles again? "

Pow! It was unknown how many times his palm landed on Ma Tiedan's head.

"Stupid!" The young duke is wise and wise, how can he be comparable to those popinjays? "

"Anyway, you have reason whenever …"

"Bastard, what did you say?"

"Nothing … I said that I will definitely bring dad to pay my respects to the general!"

While the father and son duo was arguing, Uncle Mu suddenly walked in with a dark face and started cursing.

"What is it?" Old Ma asked.

Uncle Mu said sullenly, "That bastard Sun is back again. He insisted on meeting brother, and also said that this time, he must invite brother to Liaodong to refine weapons, no matter how much the price is."

"Wouldn't it be fine if we just send him away?" The old horse waved his hand impatiently, "This old man wants to see Young Marquis Gongsun later, how can I have the time to chat with him!"

Before Uncle Mu could reply, a stout man in grey clothes came in and laughed loudly: "Haha, Brother Horse, it seems like I'm not welcome here!"

"Boss Sun, are you done yet?" Old Ma frowned and asked, then waved his hand: "If I say I don't want to go to the Liaodong, I will definitely not go! "No matter what condition you put forth, it won't do!"

"Hehe." Sun Dabao laughed sinisterly, "Brother Ma, you'd better not refuse so early. Otherwise, don't say you didn't expect it!"

"What do you want to do?" In a fit of anger, Ma Tiedan dodged and stood in front of his father and Uncle Mu.

Eldest Sun stared at him and said, "I'm opening a proper blacksmith shop. It's always been a proper shop, so what do you want to do, brat?"

"Pui!" Uncle Mu spat at Eldest Sun's feet, "You actually dare to follow the rules? Shall I go out on the street and tell everyone what you've done? "

"Cough cough, cut the crap. Look at this!" Sun Da took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and slapped it on Uncle Mu's chest.

Uncle Mu took the paper and glanced at it. His face suddenly turned pale and he silently handed it to Old Ma.

The old horse took a look and his expression changed.

"Dad, what's written on it?" Ma Tiedan panicked and grabbed the piece of paper.

'Two years in the beginning of spring, in the fall of the tiger.' On a piece of paper, there were only these seven inexplicable words.

"Beginning of a second year," Ma Tiedan muttered. He raised his head and asked, "Father, at that time you and Uncle Mu were preparing to move the blacksmith shop from Youzhou to Ji County. Did something happen in the Falling Tiger Crevice?"

Old Ma waved his hand to stop Ma Tiedan from asking questions. He stared at Sun Da and asked, "What do you want?"

"Go to Liaodong!" Sun Da said complacently.

"Impossible!" Old Ma refused flatly, "Ask for something else!"

"Old thing, don't refuse a toast!" Eldest Sun immediately became hostile.

"Hehe, you can drink whatever you want!" The old horse stared at Sun Dazhi and sneered. He suddenly shouted, "Iron egg, Old Mu, flank him!"

Sun Da knew how powerful Old Mu was. He turned around in fright and ran out of the yard. As soon as he ran out of the yard, he heard Old Ma's candid mocking laughter. Only then did he know that he had been tricked. He grinded his teeth and cursed for a while before running out the door. Then, he waved to Sun family's blacksmith shop fifty steps away. More than a dozen Hei Yihanzi ran over with iron rods and axes.

"Bang!" Big Sun tore off the banner of the Ma family's blacksmith shop, pointed it at the inside and roared.

Hei Yihanzi and the others grabbed the guys and rushed forward, smashing them everywhere. Suddenly, all kinds of swords and iron ingots were thrown everywhere. It was unknown who flew up and kicked over the furnace, causing charcoal to be scattered and igniting Wu Tie's clothes on the round stool. The stench of smoke rose into the air.

"How dare you!" Suddenly, a roar came from inside. Old Mu came out with an iron rod in his hand and smashed the two Hei Yihanzi's bodies onto the ground.

Ma Tiedan followed closely behind. When he saw someone, he smashed them with a sledgehammer. In the blink of an eye, three to five of them were knocked over.

Hei Yihanzi and the others saw that the situation was not looking good, so they let out a whistle and ran outside.

Sun Zhang cursed loudly, "What a bunch of useless idiots! Idiot! Don't run! Give it to me! "Ah!

Before Sun Da could finish his sentence, he fell to the ground with a scream. Old Mu had suddenly jumped over and hit Sun Da's leg with the rod.

Big Sun grabbed his leg and wailed for a while. He stared at Old Mu and said fiercely: "Damn old thing! "Just wait for him to enter the prison!"

"Aiyo, dog. Day. "He dares to be stubborn?" Old Mu flew into a rage and approached him with the iron rod in hand.

"Don't come near me, don't come near me!" Sun Da was so frightened that his face paled and he quickly propped himself up on the ground with both hands as he retreated.

Old Mu quickly arrived in front of Eldest Sun and raised his metal rod with a grin.

"Father!" Ma Tiedan hurriedly shouted, afraid that Uncle Mu would not be able to calm down and bring a lawsuit against him.

Old Ma stroked his moustache and leisurely said, "Don't worry, Uncle Mu knows what to do. "Tie Wu, if the government comes, can you hold on?"

"This …" Ma Tiedan clenched his teeth. "Let me try!"

Just as Ma Tiedan finished speaking, a loud shout came from the corner of the street.

"That man, how dare he commit murder in the streets under the sun! Hurry up and put down your weapons, otherwise you will be killed without question! "

Everyone looked up and saw 30-40 black clothed bailiffs running over, with seven to eight bows aimed at Old Mu.

Old Mu was shocked and quickly threw down the metal rod. Sun Da screamed again, it turned out that the tip of the pole just happened to hit his leg.

The constable in charge of the convoy was a thin and lean man. He shouted angrily, "Insolent bastard! He still dared to act so arrogantly in front of the officials! Brothers, arrest that criminal! "

Seven or eight bailiffs answered, took the wooden flail and ropes and rushed towards Old Mu.

"Hold on!" The old horse suddenly shouted and clasped his hands towards the constable, "Sir, my brother here has a reason for injuring him. May I ask for the reason before I punish him?"

"How dare you!" The constable's eyes widened as he shouted, "When the government does things, how can you and other commoners interrupt? Hurry up and tie them up, and bring them back to the flail gate to show off to the masses! "

The old horse sneered, "If you don't ask me, I will just randomly arrest someone. Aren't you afraid that I will report this to you?"

"Old sir knows the Marquis?" The constable was shocked and his tone became polite.

"Chief Qian, don't be fooled by him!" Sun shouted, "How could an old blacksmith know the noble Marquis?"

"That's true!" I was almost tricked by this old thing! " Constable Qian slapped his forehead and angrily said, "Come on, arrest that old thing as well!"

A few more bailiffs came out of the crowd and took the ropes and ran towards the old horse.

"Hold on!" At this moment, there was another loud shout that sounded like thunder, causing Constable Qian to almost stumble from fright.

Constable Qian became angry from embarrassment. He pointed at Ma Tiedan and shouted, "Inn!" You want to go into the cell, too, don't you? "Come on, grab that vertical pillar as well!"

"Who dares!" He waved the hammer in his hand a few times and shouted, "I am a soldier from White Horse Camp. Whoever dares to make a move, be careful that the young duke may break your dog legs!"

"From the White Horse Camp?" Constable Qian and the yamen runners under his command were all dumbfounded. Now that a three-year-old kid knew of the young duke Gongsun Xu's illustrious reputation, who would dare to randomly capture one of his underlings after eating a bear heart leopard?

Sun's Blacksmith Shop is the largest blacksmith shop on this street. It has a total of three floors." At this moment on the second floor, a youth wearing a black brocade robe looked at the Ma family's smithy's entrance, leisurely sipping his tea while sighing, "This Sun Da-!!!!" Someone come!

"Please instruct me, Young Master!"

"This is the name card from Liu County Command. Take it to that constable and let him take a look."

"Here!"

"Hehe, Gongsun Xu's soldiers? "I'd like to see if the young duke, whose reputation has suddenly risen, will appear today!"
